Absolutely not.
Reports of disputes are limited to those under the FCRA and FCBA.
To be considered a dispute, since the letter was sent to them, they would have to consider it to be a direct dispute under FCRA 623(a)(8).
That requires the specific identification of an asserted reporting inaccuracy that they are required to investigate, and respond back to the consumer within 30 days.
If you asserted no inaccuracy, it was not a dispute.
Numerous other posts on the site have referenced similar reporting, or statements that they would report, a GW or DV as an FCRA dispute.
That infers that they have made this a practice, of which I would suggest that you file a formal complaint with the CFPB.
They may take action if a pattenr of violation is shown.
As an aside, assuming arguendo that they simply were unkowingly misinterpreting your letter as a dispute, that carrries with it their statutory obligation to provide a resolution of the "dispute" within 30 days. Dollars to doughnuts that they send no notice of any resolution, which would signify to me that they were aware that it was not a dispute, and accordingly, contrary to their statement, did not treat it as such. Thus, if they do report, it would be knowling reporting inaccurate information, which is an express violation of FCRA 623(a)(1).
Interesting to hear if you get a letter of results of your "dispute" ......
